Gathering Bright Blooms

Gathering Bright Blooms is a cross stitch design inspired by the Gathering Wildflowers quilt using Superbloom fabrics. The perky rows of flowers coordinate and make beautiful companion pieces when stitched on Navy Aida to go with the Navy Thatched in the quilt. These graphic flowers stand up in colorful lines with a decorative border of corner leaves. For variety, consider also stitching the flowers as one continuous row! Stitch count of Gathering Bright Blooms is 112 x 111. Stitched size on 14 count Aida (or 28 count evenweave over two threads) is 8" x 88", on 25 count Lugana over two threads is 9" x 99" and on 32 count linen is 7" x 7". Model on cover is stitched on 14 count Charles Craft Navy Aida with Cosmo flosses. It is sewn with little quilt blocks (finishing pattern will be a separate "Petite Block Borders" pattern) in Thatched Navy and Coastal blue and stapled over an artist's canvas. Chart is printed on cover-weight brochure, 17" x 11" opened, 8.5" x 11" folded. Chart is printed in color.
